Everyone was gathered in Esme and Carlisle's living room as they played charades. It was something the group always did at family gatherings and they would probably do it for years and years to come. At this current moment Leah and Edward were on a team against everyone else since they were always a team.
Leah flapped her arms at her side before quickly switching so that her arms were stretched at her sides as he bobbed her head back and forth. The group of people was looking at her not quite sure what she was supposed to be. Rosalie figured she was drunk or maybe stoned, Demetri wondered if she was trying to pull a joke on them, and Esme feared the Native American woman to be having a stroke of some kind.
It was Jasper who came up with the first guess. Being raised on a farm he knew a lot about animals and her arm movements kind of resembled a duck if you squinted really hard. "A duck?"
"A duck on steroids?" Alice piped up when her friend started to hop around on one foot while flapping her arms and then quickly switching to her other foot.
Edward had his hands resting in his lap as he watched her. He had known what she was since the first wave of her arms, but he always liked hearing the others guess. He finally decided to have mercy on them and grinned as he jumped to his feet and pointed to her. He played the part of someone just figuring it out rather well. "Duck, duck, goose!"
Leah jumped up and down before jumping in to his arms and high fiving him multiple times. When he set her back down on her feet she bumped her hip with his as the pair did an odd victory dance. "Yes!"
"How the hell did you figure that out?" Jasper commented with a frown. Sometimes he wondered why Leah and Edward just did not get together. They knew each other so well probably better than he and Alice knew each other. Why could they not see how perfect they were together? "I thought she was having a seizure."
"We just read each other like a book." The bronze haired male shrugged before coming to sit on the couch and pulling his russet skinned friend down next to him.
He wrapped his arm around her shoulder and not one person in the room said anything because they were used to how close Leah and Edward were. They had long ago gotten over the fact that the pair seemed to be unnaturally comfortable with the other. With other people it could end up being weird, but it was not that way with Milo and Otis. The way they were with each other was just something that had always been and always would be.
She smiled and bumped fists with him. "It is a secret mind link thing we have going on."
"Well that is your ten to our three in charades so far." Rosalie muttered bitterly since she hated losing and they were losing badly. She crossed her arms over her chest and huffed. "I don't know why we even try anymore since you guys always win."
Edward shook his head at her pouting before motioning to the X-Box 360. "So I say that we play some more Guitar Hero."
Alice scrunched up her face clearly not liking the idea of playing more video games. "Can't we do something else? Why not play truth or dare?"
"What are we twelve?" The sarcastic Quilette woman stated with an eye roll. "Besides I really need a drink and I know that Esme and Carlisle are about to politely ask us to all leave since they are going to bed. I say that we all go out to a bar or something."
Esme and Carlisle smiled politely and stood up to hug everyone. "As our adopted daughter we never adopted put it, we actually do need to get to bed and that means you don't have to go home, but you cannot stay here. We had a lovely evening tonight and I hope we can do it again in a few weeks."
After the older couple went to bed everyone decided to go out and get drunk. As they waited for Rosalie to confirm that her baby sitter for her son could stay a few hours longer everyone else just milled around. Edward stood in the corner watching Leah chat with Alice and a frown came to rest on his lips. Did she really want him to move out? He knew that she had probably meant it as a joke, but how could he be sure? What if his best friend was getting bored with him crashing at her place all the time? He would have to chat with her when they got home.
"Hey are you alright?" The object of his thoughts came over to him when she finished her conversation with Alice Cullen. "You look like you are so lost in thought that your brain may over heat at any second."
Edward grinned at her and tickled her side as a way to reassure her that he was fine. "I was just thinking about how I am going to get you home once I drink your ass under the table like I always seem to do."
Leah punched him in the arm. "Don't get too far up on your high horse or else it will hurt when I knock you off it."
00000000
Edward and Leah did not get home until around three in the morning. They had ended up having a drinking contest with Rosalie, Alice, Jasper, and Demetri. Out of the six people who participated in the contest Leah and Edward were the only ones left who could actually walk without help. They had to call a cab for the others before they were able to head back to Leah's apartment.
As soon as they entered her door they were tearing at each other's clothes and pushing them towards the bedroom. A trail of clothing could tell someone where they had ended up. This time Edward didn't even care that she ended up on top. He let his hands roam her sides as she bit and sucked at his pulse point.
"Do you really want me to move out?" The words came out before he could stop them.
He knew that if they were going to do this then he had to have a straight answer. Once something was on it his mind he could not focus on anything else until he had the particular problem sorted out. It had been that way since high school. His teachers told him that he had a slight case of ADD.
"Huh?" Leah stopped what she was doing to look up at her friend. Was he more drunk than she had originally thought? Sometimes when he drank he would say something out of the blue forgetting that he had been having a conversation in his mind and not in real life.
The green eyed male looked at her as if she were the weird one in this moment. "At dinner you said you wanted me out."
"Do we have to talk about this during sex?" She emphasized her point by reaching down to squeeze his erection. Just because he was being odd did not mean she wouldn't continue with what she had been doing. Reaching over to the night stand she grabbed a condom.
"I need to know." Was his reply as he watched her tear open the foil package and slide it on before she positioned herself above him. "Not sure I can really get in to this if I don't have an answer."
The russet skinned woman quirked her eyebrow as she paused right before she had a chance to slid down on to him. "Are you trying to blackmail me?"
Edward pushed his body up in to an awkward sitting position. He shot her a dazzling smile before suddenly flipping them over so that he was now on top. In one quick motion he was inside of her. He may want an answer, but having a naked girl on him was not something he would let go to waste either. "Is it working?"
"Not really." Leah told him as her left hand came up and around to rest on the back of his neck while at the same time she raised her right leg up and bent it at the knee to throw it over his shoulder. If he wanted to do it with himself on top then they would be doing it her way. "I only said that to get the spot light off your love life."
"Does talking about my love life bother you?" The bronze haired guy asked her as he started to move inside of her. His hands resting on her hips while his lips gently swept across the flesh of her bare shoulder. Usually Leah would have joined in on teasing him about his love life at dinner, but she had changed the subject and he wanted to know why. Suddenly it came to him and he couldn't believe that she could possibly be jealous. Leah did not get jealous over other girls did she? She had no reason to since she was the most important woman in life by far. "Leah, are you jealous?"
Tilting her head so that he couldn't see her face she tried to play it off. She was not the kind of woman to be bothered by something like that. Besides, he was not her boyfriend and if had chosen to go on a date with that Tanya chick then it would be no business of hers. "Ha that is a laugh!"
"You so are!" He teased and leaned down to kiss her once she was looking at him again. He had no idea why it touched him so to know that she may actually care about who he dated and yet it did. "Don't be embarrassed Milo because I find adorable that you actually care. As long as your skin doesn't end up turning green when I do decide to date it is all good."
"Like that would ever-" She never got to finish because she heard her front door open and quickly shoved him off of her or well she tried, but because of the position they had been in Leah ended up falling off the side of the bed with him in a tangled mess of limbs and blankets. Quickly she covered Edward with a blanket the best she could as the footsteps headed in the direction of her room. "Don't move at all!"
"Hey Lee!" Seth popped his head in to Leah's bedroom doorway with a smile. He had a cigarette in his mouth that his sister was pretty sure was not a cigarette at all and a bottle of Jack in one of his hands. "I came to see you all the way from the La Push and I need cab money since I don't believe in getting a job. Wait why are you naked on the floor?"
"Don't you know how to knock?" She grabbed the sheet forgetting that she had used it to cover up the presence of Edward and when she wrapped it around her upper body Edward slowly became uncovered, first his hair, then his eyes, and finally the rest of his face including the bright red blush. Leah gulped nervously though she managed to hide it well. She raised her chin defiantly and took a deep breath. "Seth you remember Edward don't you?"
Seth looked between his sister and her male companion. "Hey bro I have to admit that I do not think I ever seen you quite like this. Finally grew a pair and tapped my sister? I would high five you, but your naked and well no wait come on over here so I can full on hug you."
Edward looked at Leah before he hung his head. Seth was openly gay and he had been hitting on Edward for as long as he could remember. The worst time had to be during the Prom when Edward went to pick up Leah since they were going together as friends. It was a night none of them would ever forget. "Nice to see you as well Seth. What brings you out here now of all times?"
The younger male grinned before coming to sit on Leah's bed considering they were on the floor. "I heard you were back in town and wondering if you had changed your mind about my offer of showing you the true meaning of free love."
TBC…
AN: Yes I made Seth gay and do not be mad at me because remember I made Embry gay in Live Free and Race Hard. Anyways, I liked how this chapter came out because it shows how much bad luck Leah and Edward have when it comes to timing. I do hope that you all liked this chapter and in the next chapter I was going to flash back and show the prom. What do you all think of that?
Please R&R like always!
